Resignation? Tottenham coach Conte rows back – perfectionism as a problem

Tottenham manager

Antonio Conte has backtracked two days after his implied resignation as Tottenham Hotspur manager, saying his early departure is not an issue. Following the 0-1 draw at Burnley, threatened with relegation, Conte had left his future at Spurs open and announced talks with the club’s management.

The Italian said on Friday that he just wanted to share his disappointment after his team’s run of four defeats from five Premier League games. “I think that at this moment the best solution for us is to keep working hard and I think that work is the only way to try to please our fans and the club,” Conte said (quoted via “The Athletic”) ahead of the league game at Leeds United (Sat, 1:30 p.m.).

“It is important to focus on the present. I repeat: to the present. I keep repeating the same things: we need time, we need patience. The club are the first to know how our situation really is and the club confirmed to me that they know what the reality is. The club is very satisfied with my work, with what we do with my staff,” the trainer continued.

Conte is sure “that the club appreciates our work very much. But the problem is that I am a perfectionist and know very well what improvements my work will bring in the future. But at the same time I’m a person who wants to get a result quickly and when I lose I’m not so happy anymore. I think that this attitude has brought me success in my career as a player and as a coach. ”He is not offering his resignation, he clarified. “No, but I think my words were very, very clear. I said it’s not normal to lose four games in the last five games. Of course, when a situation like this occurs, you have to recover, right?”

Conte wants to repay Boss Levy’s trust at Tottenham

According to him, Conte is not used to losing in this way. With the executive floor he is apparently on a common denominator. “Our chairman Daniel Levy knows very well that I am here to help the club at every moment and that I will help the club to the end,” revealed the coach. “He’s very considerate of me every day and that’s why I’m even more committed to this club because I know the club values ​​me a lot.” Conte has only been Tottenham coach since the beginning of November, followed on Nuno Espírito Santo, who was committed to the start of the season. In 21 games so far, Conte has scored an average of 1.71 points.
